I have a problem with PHP where wget generates 0 byte files. Below is
the code that I use.

// ********************
$savedir = "/webroot/vifs/app/webroot/static/1234567890";
$url = "http://www.google.com";

$test = mkdir( $savedir, 0777);

exec("/usr/bin/wget -nH -nd -d -P$savedir $url");
// ********************

What I have noticed is that if the directory already exists, WGET
works fine. But if the directory is created prior to, as shown in the
code, WGET generates a file of 0 bytes.

MKDIR always returns successfully.

I've tried inserting a SLEEP(5) after MKDIR and that does not help.

Would anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks
